This summer, if you live in Ontario, or are visiting Ontario, I want you to do two things:

Muskoka Sports and Recreation is JW Marriott’s premier partner in Muskoka, offering recreational activities, rentals and lessons to guests of the resort. And if you’re going to be spending time on the stunning Lake Rosseau, it’s only wise to make the most of the scenic natural surroundings. Included in your resort fee: bike rentals, canoeing. family lawn games, kayaking, pedal boating, stand-up paddle boarding and of course, the kid-favourite water slide. What more could you ask for?

Well, how about water skiing? Or tubing on the crisp, cool waters? Maybe you want to slow down the pace with a little fishing, or take a private boat tour of Lake Rosseau. Muskoka Sports and Recreation offers all this, and more.

Okay boys, group photo before the water fun begins! Information about the Tube Run: “Tubing is a fun water activity that you can do with friends and family. Enjoy a 15 minute run with up to 3 people.” You can find the full summer recreation schedule at JW Marriott The Rosseau Muskoka Resort & Spa here.

The tow boat maxed at about 10-15 km/hr, which felt very leisurely to me, but my husband, who had to straddle the tube, secure the boys and contend with the choppy lake waters, assured me it was quite the thrill. As we pulled away from the resort, I was offered scenic views of the hotel, which overlooks Lake Rosseau with incredible splendour. Of course, my eyes were trained on my three guys bobbing in the tube behind!
